Bug#882504: Problem still exists

[Kees Bakker <kees@ijzerbout.nl>]

Hi,

On my systems I have two ethernet devices, only one is connected.
And thus I have excluded one in the systemd configuration, as you can
see below.

This is mainly to avoid the needless timeout during boot up.

apt-helper however is ignoring this configuration and it is causing
unnecessary errors in my syslog.

Nov 16 04:30:24 luts systemd[1]: Starting Daily apt download activities...
Nov 16 04:30:54 luts systemd-networkd-wait-online[993706]: Event loop
failed: Connection timed out
Nov 16 04:30:54 luts apt-helper[993698]: E: Sub-process
/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online returned an error code (1)

apt-helper is simply running /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd-wait-online
directly
without looking at the systemd configuration.

I'm not familiar enough with systemctl to know whether there is a better
alternative.
Perhaps: systemctl -q is-active systemd-networkd-wait-online
